Abstract: CARANDANG, NEIL JEROME C. AND PAULITE, YNA VICTORIA P. Development of a Touchpad Controlled Android-based Electronic Wheelchair. Undergraduate Design Project. Bachelor of Science in Electronics and Communications Engineering. Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite. April 2016. Adviser: Engr. Edwin R. Arboleda. The “Development of a Touchpad Controlled Android Based Electronic Wheelchair” was conducted from March 2014 to October 2015. The general objective of the design was to develop a touchpad controlled Android-based electronic wheelchair. Specifically, it aimed to construct the electronic wheelchair, and design and construct the Android-based circuitry and program for the path finding mechanism of the drive system and interface the Arduino-based circuit to the electronic wheelchair setup. It also aimed to develop the software of the drive system and the Android device. Additionally, it aimed to test and evaluate the system in terms of the speed of the electronic wheelchair, reliability of the sensors to avoid obstacle, and ease of use of the wheelchair. Lastly, it aimed to conduct a cost computation of the study. C Programming Language was used by the system to control and manipulate the microcontroller. Gizduino AtMega644 was also used as the microcontroller because of its compatibility to the requirements of the design. The Android application was programmed using the Java Language and Eclipse as the IDE. Its ports were used to interface input and output devices such as the ultrasonic sensors, infrared proximity sensor, touchpad, Bluetooth module, motor and motor driver. The design project was tested and evaluated at the Engineering Science Building, Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite. Thirty respondents having different weights were tested and evaluated. There was a satisfactory rating for the ease of use of wheelchair and the touchpad controller, the reliability of the sensors, and the path finding system while the Android software was rated excellent as a navigational controller. The overall performance of the system is satisfactory and the total cost of the system amounted to P12,615.00.

C Programming Language was used by the system to control and manipulate the microcontroller. Gizduino AtMega644 was also used as the microcontroller because of its compatibility to the requirements of the design. The Android application was
programmed using the Java Language and Eclipse as the IDE. Its ports were used to interface input and output devices such as the ultrasonic sensors, infrared proximity sensor, touchpad, Bluetooth module, motor and motor driver. The design project was tested and evaluated at the Engineering Science Building, Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite.
Thirty respondents having different weights were tested and evaluated. There was a satisfactory rating for the ease of use of wheelchair and the touchpad controller, the
reliability of the sensors, and the path finding system while the Android software was rated excellent as a navigational controller. The overall performance of the system is satisfactory and the total cost of the system amounted to P12,615.00.
